I am using the command synapse get -r syn5051788 , but there's no error nor is there any file being created. I was wondering how I can thus import data from synapse into bash or what I am doing wrong.
Created by Amy Elias aelias1 The `-r` flag is for recursive download, but that Synapse ID is for a specific File. Removing the `-r` flag should work. If you are trying to download all of the files in the Folder where that file is (syn5049322), then you would use the `-r` flag as such:
```
synapse get -r syn5049322
```
I'll see about adding a warning message when this is attempted in the future:
